Description
Les Manguiers (The Mango Trees) is a hidden away bungalow set-up a couple of kilometres north of Kampot town, situated on the east bank of the Kampot River amongst rice fields. While accommodation is available in the main two-storey house, the best option here are the spacious wooden bungalows spread out through, you guessed it, a mango grove. The bungalows are good, very spacious inside with large, cold water bathrooms, but ours had a frustratingly small balcony which could have been a good deal larger if the stairs went up the side of the bungalow rather than the front. There's a dining area over the river that felt like it was going to collapse into the river at any moment, but the very cheery and helpful staff guaranteed us it was far more solid than it looked, which wasn't very solid at all. Food is good and once you're over the shaking, the dining area is quite a comfortable place to while away the slow hours. The more active will want to hire the kayaks which are available to scoot around on the river, and while we didn't partake due to poor weather, the river is apparently aglow with phosphorescence at night and is quite an experience to swim in. Les Manguiers is perhaps a little overpriced for the standard, particularly given its isolation, but if you're after a few sleepy days by the river you could do far worse. Popular with Phnom Penh expats, particularly families, it can get busy on weekends -- especially holiday weekends, so keep that in mind.
